8 days left: Maxos speaks,Major rewards update!

Help from an unexpected source

With only 8 days left on the clock and some distance to cover still until our next stretch goal, our Kickstarter campaign received endorsement from an unexpected source today!

Maxos - The man who can teach you how to become a dragon!

Major rewards update

We added a number of new reward tiers today, and also added some extra goodies to existing reward tiers. Don't worry, nothing was removed. On the contrary, chances are high that you received some free extras.

Kickstarter badge/credits: If you pledge more than 25$, you by default receive a Kickstarter badge on the Larian forums. You are also included in the credits as a backer.

Dragon badge/credits: If you pledge more than 95$, you by default receive a Dragon badge on the Larian forums. You are also included in the credits at Dragon level.

Weresheep badge/credits: If you add 6$ to your pledge at any tier, you will receive a Weresheep badge on the Larian forums. You will also be mentioned in the credits as a Weresheep and might even have a surprise in the game! You'll also receive... a hint.

A number of new all digital reward tiers were added today. They are present in the sidebar at the 95$, 135$, 150$ and 200$ level.

Because we cannot modify existing tiers in the sidebar anymore, we made a visual overview of what the changes mean for all the other rewards.

Remember, you can always modify your pledge by clicking on the "manage pledge" button.

I'm at the $95 Physical Tier, and I can imagine why we wouldn't get a free copy of Dragon Commander, considering costs to put together and ship the physical goods, but is there any chance of us Physical Tiers below $150 getting a discount on DC, perhaps incremented based on donation level? The current add-on cost is the same amount that it would cost to pre-order the game on GOG.

Feels good to post here ;)
Just a word: I love both Divine Divinity and Divinity 2 despite them not being perfect games in all aspects. I appreciated the quest of building good, funny, interesting games even in the end the result is not the one in your/our dreams. It is so much better to fail when fighting the good fight than quitting it before you start.
Good luck with the campaign ending. May you hit the skies! (while keeping your feet on Earth, of course)

Does that falls into conditions "$26 and above" or it counts by pledge tiers, not by amount of money pledged (ie 26$ does not count even though it is technically over 25$, but 35$ because it is a pledge tier)?

@LC
From the wording I would suppose when you pledge 96$ (from the 95$ physical tier) you would get the digital copy of dragon commander. Because it says pledges of more than 95$, otherwise it should have said tiers.....

I originally had the 40 dollar pledge, so 2 copies of Original Sin. If i change this to 65 dollars, do I get 2x original Sin and 1 time dragon commander ?
IT says so on the chart, but in the text it is worded kinda confusing ( "Dragon Commander: If you pledge more than 95$, you by default receive a digital version of Divinity: Dragon Commander. " )
Cheers !

so what are the specifics for the Weresheep now that they will be officially recognized? is all that is needed is any reward tier + $6 or more, meaning the $6 could go to getting a copy of Divine Divinity, or does the $6 need to be like an add-on, meaning it doesn't count if it's used for another add-on?

@ Sirius @ Tobi
There are four ways to get a DC copy:
1) Choosing the limited $65 Dragon Commander tier
2) Adding $40 to your pledge (if you have chosen the $25 tier at the minimum)
3) Choosing the $95 digital tier or any digital tier above that
4) Choosing the $150 physical tier or any physical tier above that

Sirius, i think you have to pledge 150 (phsical reward tiers) to get dragon commander.. i.e. you have to pledge the next level that comes after 95. i thinks that is what they mean, not that 96 bucks gets you the game :)

Argh that's just cruel: "Weresheep ...and might even have a surprise in the game! You'll also receive... a hint. " I almost never buy new games. I am too cheap. I just wait for it to go down to $5ish on GOG.
What vile trickster comes up with these upgrades? I will not let you rape my wallet with your sweet, sheepish temptations. I refuse. Well maybe.

^ Not even with Kirill casting a spell at me ^

But then again I did always want to be a weresheep. No Never!1 Perhaps after the concert? OOOoo Shiny!

@ Jörn
You will get a kickstarter and a weresheep badge on the Larian forums but you will only been mentioned as weresheep in the credits. You have to pledge at least $95 to appear in the credits (apart from the weresheep thing).

To avoid confusion - Dragon Commander is included in the 95$ digital tier, but not in the 95$ physical tier. The first physical tier to have Dragon Commander right now is the 150$. We'll close the existing 95$ physical tier to avoid any confusion & add a notice. And then reopen it with the correct wording.

OK upgraded again! $150 Digital Pledge. I already pre-ordered Dragon Commander from GOG.com so I'll be passing on my extra copy of D:OS and D:DC to my brother to play with me! Cannot wait!

I really love that this is a polishes Product but you want to put as much into it as you can. I'd suggest selling on that fact on the main Kickstarter page - this isn't a product coming in a years time or two years time, its just getting an awful lot of polish and cool features added to an already well developed Product.

Again cross promotion of dragon commander, a game i am absolutism uninterested. I want to see something more from this game D:OS. Even if it only were 10 seconds. A cool fight or a new enemy type or some more item recipes or ANYTHING ELSE from D:SO. Please i am begging you.

I really don't mean to be that guy who gets stuck on details, but I'm 99% sure you mean "$xx or over" instead of "more than $xx", right?
I feel like the do-gooder in class who puts up his hand to say the teacher forgot to dot an "i", but I just want to be sure I'm in the tier I think I'm in. :)
